1) Lamine Yamal

Not much needs to be said about Lamine Yamal. The Barcelona sensation is making waves across Europe with his scintillating attacking displays. His performances for the Spanish side even resulted in a close second-placed finish in the Ballon d’Or race. Reflective of his form in real life, Football Manager 26 also has the right-sided attacker as one of the best wonderkids in the game. His stellar attacking attributes at the beginning of the game are only going to be better. It will take a mammoth amount to convince Barcelona to part ways with him. Moreover, he might not be interested in joining your club. Nevertheless, it’s worth it to make the effort and hope the stars align, as he is going to be one of the best players in the game in a few years.

2) Kenan Yildiz

Signing Kenan Yildiz could turn into a costly affair. However, you wouldn’t complain much after knowing what you are getting. The Turkish star who best operates from the left turns into an attacking maverick in the future if you guide him properly. Yildiz, who can also play on the right and even as a striker, goes past the 15 mark in technique, first touch, decisions, agility, dribbling, etc, to make him a well-rounded prospect. If you are looking to assemble one of the best attacking units in the world, recruiting Yildiz is a no-brainer.

3) Estevao

Estevao signed for Chelsea this summer after showcasing his attacking prowess in his home country, Brazil. In Football Manager 26, Estevao could turn into one of the best attacking wonderkids in the game with some development and expertise. Since he signed for the London club this summer, it will be hard to pry him away from his new club. Although you shouldn’t let that deter you, as the right-winger could prove to be a formidable asset in the years to come. The 18-year-old’s stellar finishing ability only turns better, which would make him an elite winger with elite output. So make sure to keep an eye on Estevao’s progress and snag him for your team.

4) Vitor Roque

Barcelona pulled the trigger on signing Vitor Roque in 2024 after witnessing his astonishing potential. Although, his progress hasn’t exactly been straightforward. After playing only a part-time role for the Spanish side, they sent him back to South America. Palmerias were more than happy to sign him, considering that they made him the most expensive signing for a South American club at €25.5 million. Initially deemed as a risk, now the prolific striker has silenced all the noise. In Football Manager 26, Roque remains a highly-rated player and can develop into one of the best strikers in the game. Signing the 20-year-old from a Brazilian club shouldn’t prove difficult if you have the funds and can manage to convince him.

5) Ellen Wangerheim

Turning our attention to the women’s game, we can look to sign a bunch of hidden gems. The most notable one is striker Ellen Wangerheim. The 20-year-old plies her trade for Swedish side Hammarby. So convincing her and managing to sign her shouldn’t prove as troublesome as looking to sign someone from the Liga F, WSL, or the NWSL. Wangerheim has stellar technical stats that can aid in her development to become one of the best strikers in the women’s game in a couple of years. So make sure to pounce on the opportunity to sign the Swedish star.
